Mrunal Thakur has been roped in as the female lead in Adivi Shesh’s pan-India action drama Docket, directed by debutant Shanil Dev. On his birthday, Adivi Shesh announced that Mrinal had joined the cast of his ambitious project. The makers of Dacoit have also released an intense poster featuring Adivi Shesh and Mrinal Thakur.
Announcing, Adivi Shesh said, “Dakot is a solid action film with a heartwarming love story. Mrinal has brought to life some of the best characters on the big screen, bringing a unique punch to each role. His extraordinary ability to elevate every character he portrays makes him truly remarkable. .We are thrilled to welcome Mrinal to the Docket team and look forward to going head-to-head on the big screens.”
Dacoit is the story of an angry criminal who seeks revenge against his ex-girlfriend who cheated on him. The film, which is currently being shot in Hyderabad, will follow with an extensive schedule in Maharashtra.
Mrinal Thakur shared her excitement about joining the film and said, “I am happy to join the team of Daaku. Dakait’s story is true to its essence, a brilliant blend of rustic storytelling that is elevated by the stylistic approach of both Adivi Shesh and Shanil Dev. The character I am set to portray in the film will allow me to explore shades of playing an on-screen character that I have not explored before as an actor. Blended with the genre and script of Dacoit, this offering is truly a treat for the audience to watch. I can’t wait to dive deeper into the world imagined by Shanil.”
It is worth mentioning here that Mrinal will replace Shruti Haasan, who has walked out of the project.
